It will not prevent Corona but it will almost always prevent food poisoning. My grandmas tip was to drink a double whiskey every time one had food that left you suspicious.

I'm flying out today. I am going to Switzerland to see my brother and my nieces. I'm flying on AA from PHX-LHR-BSL and coming home on next Sunday March 1. Hope the flight is doing well.

The citrus would provide some additional vitamin C. More generally, some drinks should count as a fruit serving. Since Vodka is made from potatoes, I guess it's a vegetable, isn't it?

ADDED: Did no DL forum dogs visit breweries this weekend? I'm disappointed. We want photos.

How were they?

When I was traveling for work, I always kept a "hot toddy kit" in my bag: a lemon packet (the airline I flew had crystallized lemon), a packet of honey, and a Jack Daniels mini.

I may try that tonight.

I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon because I'm concerned about my coughing.

Nice! From Ely I assume Great Basin? And then all the national parks from A(rches) to Z(ion)?

I always wanted to do the drive from SLC to Rachel, NV via Ely. I was planning to do it before I graduated, but never had the time (or money). I did get to go to Rachel finally in 2015, but from Vegas. Rachel has a small inn called the Little A'Le'Inn and the people there have some good stories. Not far from there is the back gate to some place that probably doesn't exist.

Wow. I return to look around, and things have changed.

What happened to everything which was here in The Lounge™?

Over there is where you will find the latest publications to read, as we have literally hundreds of them, including out-of-print books provided by obscure2k from her private collection. If you would rather watch some entertainment, we have a stage with some of the biggest names in show business, ready to perform just for you — LIVE! Ask and they will perform for you, whether it is comedy, music or drama. If you prefer the pre-recorded variety of entertainment, that entire wall over there is a state-of-the-art television screen, stocked with every television show, concert and movie from the last 90 years, all at your disposal.

If you look this way, you will find our complimentary food and beverages, available 24 hours per day, every day. We spared no expense: you will find truffles (both the mushroom and the chocolate varieties), Lobster Thermidor, Beef Wellington, Beluga caviar, shrimp cocktail, filet mignon, fresh-baked assorted breads and pastries, petit fours and other fine desserts, and other examples of some of the finest foods in the world on your left, most cooked to order exclusively for you by our team of executive chefs. On your right, you will find an endless selection of beverages, including the world’s finest wines, beers, cocktails, mixed drinks of every kind and soft drinks of every kind, as well as hot beverages of assorted coffees, teas and chocolates. Everything is available free of charge and you may consume as much as you like, but we regret to inform you that food and drinks cannot be taken out of this lounge, nor are there any exceptions to this rule. Still, none of us understand why nobody has yet to eat the food and drink the beverages...

We were going to spare no expense and install state-of-the-art computers in the Lounge, but since everyone that enters the Lounge is already using a computer, so we decided to save the money.

Over there, to your right through that doorway, you will find the most exclusive shower and lavatory facilities, with the softest linens, scented dripless candles, fragrant anti-bacterial soaps, a tanning facility, multiple shower heads with voice-activated customized temperature controls, and other amenities. They are always cleaned, and an exclusive personal attendant is provided to everyone who uses these facilities.
Now there is one single urinal for both genders and a lone copy of Highlights magazine from 2008 on that splintered coffee table with three legs...

1) At least we have cakes now.
2) Be sure to leave a tip at the urinal. If you pee something, pay something.

I have pneumonia. I would happily give it to someone else if they want it, because I don't!

Welcome back! Clearly standards in the Lounge have fallen in your absence
